"This dasBlog 2.3.1 release comes almost 3 years since the release of dasBlog 2.3, we know this is an internet lifetime, and in many cases our user base may have moved on to other applications, (and/or are just checking back in to see what we have to offer, or you stuck with us and you may be outgrowing your current dasBlog installation! That said, if this is your first experience with dasBlog or you’re looking for improvements in your current dasBlog, you will find that dasBlog 2.3.1 is an incremental improvement, now supporting .NET 4 and resolving some minor support operations issues, and is even more robust and stable than it ever has been. What you will not find is a host of new features or much expansion of the existing features."

(2) Advisory Details:Newtelligence dasBlog ct.ashx is vulnerable to Open Redirect attacks. Hacker can exploit it by Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards (Open Redirect or URL Redirection) attacks. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL, that if clicked, would redirect a victim from the intended legitimate web site to an arbitrary web site of the attacker's choosing. Such attacks are useful as the crafted URL initially appear to be a web page of a trusted site. This could be leveraged to direct an unsuspecting user to a web page containing attacks that target client side software such as a web browser or document rendering programs.

dasBlog supports a feature called Click-Through which basically tracks all links clicked inside your blog posts. It's a nice feature that allows the blogger to stay informed what kind of content readers like. If Click-Through is turned on, all URLs inside blog entries will be replaced with <URL to your blog>/ct.ashx?id=<Blog entry ID>&url=<URL-encoded original URL> which of course breaks WebSnapr previews.
